Hey everyone, we’re FuturLab, developers of PowerWash Simulator, which launches on Jan 31st on Nintendo Switch! We’re an indie studio with an HQ in Brighton, UK, though many of us work remotely.
Also, a Tomb Raider Special Pack, which will be free to all owners of PowerWash Sim, will drop at the same time as this launch!
Here’s the latest trailer with that new content and announcing the release date: [https://youtu.be/j8BoEKBP8ec](https://youtu.be/j8BoEKBP8ec)

Who came up with the idea and what were you doing at the time?
Any plans for a physical, or limited physical, release?
Are there any plans for any more content for Power Wash Simulator, or are you moving on now? Do you have any plans for any future projects beyond Power Wash Simulator?
How did this unlikely crossover happen? Pretty stoked cuz I’m a big classic Tomb Raider fan
Does it support the motion controls of the joycons?
Can you add the feature to wash away my sense of shame
Will there be more crossovers?
And: Is there potential for more interactive stuff e.g. on the playground or the golf course?
Other than that: *thank you* for one of the most calming games I played so far. At times it was indeed frustrating though whemn you can’t find that teeny-tiny bit that’s not washed… but other than that I found it oddly satisfying. Also the ads in the metro were amazing. xD
What’s the framerate, 30 or 60?
Asked this for the Steam/Xbox launch AMA and you said you were focused on the launch of the game for the moment, so now that that’s done and you’ll soon have launched for Switch and PlayStation too, any chance you’ll be taking a look into a VR mode?
Thanks again for the great relaxing game!
Will the switch version have local wireless play built in so I can play with friends who have switches in the same room?
Which is your favourite map so far?
How did you come up with some of the maps?
I need to ask. What made you even consider Powerwashing for a game?
I have some questions.
1. How do you expect PowerWash Simulator to be received by the Nintendo Switch community?
2. If the game is successful on the console, do you plan to do any collaboration with Nintendo to take advantage of some of their IPs and add more content?
3. What motivated you to create a game different from what we are used to?
Why is this game so sadistically addictive ?
Will there ever be crossplay between ps5 and steam users?
With the update next week, will more of the current levels be added to the challenge mode? Or something where we can see our best time for each level so we can constantly try to beat it
Would this be good for someone who does this as a living already?
Will there be hd rumble support
I’m really looking forward to this. It looks like a relaxing cozy game. Can you tell us about the multiplayer modes? Split screen, local and/or online?
Did you ever expect the game to be as popular, or successful as it is now?
What’s the handheld resolution and graphics like? 🙂
Will the game be downgraded in any way on switch?
Hey FuturLab Team! In your opinion, what makes the activity of power washing so satisfying to you? Whether it is behind the control, or behind the nozzle on my back deck, it’s so calming and peaceful!
What’s your favorite Dragon Quest game?
Your favorite pizza?
How Much will the game cost when it hits the Nintendo E-Shop?
Did you find the creative process flowed freely, or did you feel washed up from time to time?
I play this on Xbox and love it. I wish there were more upgrades though. I would love a floor washer tool.
Hello friends! Is the game fun?
